Self Defense Lessons

Find classes and tutors

Take some self defence classes and learn how to recognise and avoid dangerous situations as well as defend yourself from an attacker. Self defence is a blend of physical skills and negotiation tactics that improve your confidence and help you stay calm during an emergency.

Learning self defence with a qualified instructor will ensure you learn effective methods for immobilising an attacker, breaking free from chokes and holds, and blocking kicks and punches.

Over time you will also learn strategies for improved safety in the home, at work, at school, and during recreation. Ask your instructor about self defence classes for women.
